What We Do

Anger Management

Being an attorney is stressful! At times stress can aid in productivity but if left unmanaged it can interfere with professional and personal relationships and impede productivity. There are several profession-specific contributors to anger among attorneys including, the competitive nature of the profession, fatigue from long hours, high and sometimes unreasonable expectations to name a few. Layers often experience divorce at higher rates than other professions, domestic violence, substance abuse and stress related physical illnesses.

Learning ways to manage anger is essential for avoiding these and other potential health complications, psychological distress, diminished productivity at work, poor personal and professional relationships.
